SIGSEGV / Segfault in 0.61.0

[SWW13]

I just upgraded bindgen to 0.63.0 and was greeted with a segfault. A little bit of manual bisect yielded version 0.61.0 as the first offender.

I'll start digging deeper into the issue soon, I plan to do a git bisect to figure out the commit that introduced the issue and if that doesn't help try to get my build-system running with gdb attached for a backtrace. I'm also open to other debugging suggestions.

Note: this could be duplicate of #2035, but bindgen still works fine for me up until the segfault in 0.61.0 and above.

Input C/C++ Header

It's a large code base with long build times, I'd rather not try to find a minimal reproducer if possible.

Bindgen Invocation

bindgen::Builder::default()
        .derive_debug(true)
        .derive_default(true)
        .impl_debug(true)
        .generate_comments(true)
        .default_enum_style(bindgen::EnumVariation::NewType {
            is_bitfield: false,
            is_global: false, // new in `0.61.0`, same crash with `true`
        })
        .header("wrapper.h")
        .clang_args(crate::bindgen_clang_args()) // extracted from build target
        .allowlist_*("...")
        .blocklist_function("main_loop_wait") // bindgen issue #1313
        .parse_callbacks(Box::new(bindgen::CargoCallbacks))
        .generate()

Actual Results

error: failed to run custom build command for `crate`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `/crate-b7933947bb539228/build-script-build` (signal: 11, SIGSEGV: invalid memory reference)

Expected Results

No segfault.

These kind of errors are usually bugs while using the clang-sys crate so I suspect that the introduction of the EnumVariation::NewType::is_global field is not the issue as that PR only changed code generation.

I'd be grateful if you could either try and git bisect this as you mentioned or provide case that I can actually run.

    Generate opaque type for template param dependent bit field width

    libclang's API does not provide a straightforward way to check for
    this, and calling clang_getFieldDeclBitWidth is actively unsafe in
    this case. See https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56644

    We probably can't generate reasonable bindings for such a type, so
    make the binding opaque.

    Ideally libclang would report if the bit width could not be
    evaluated. Unfortunately making such a change would mean bumping the
    minimum libclang version from 6.0 to 15.0.

    Instead, add logic to traverse the AST subtree starting from the
    field's bit width specifier looking for template parameters. If we
    find one, we make the resulting type opaque.

Ugh... it's no surprise this has to do with C++ templates.

[SWW13]

The issue is still present in 0.66.1 and because LLVM 16 is now hitting the distros I can't now no longer build using the 0.60.1 due to #2319.

If we can't figure this issue out in the near future I would appreciate a backport of the #2319 fix.

[pvdrz]

could you give me a reproducible example so we can work on it?

[SWW13]

Yes, but it is far from minimized:

• clone https://github.com/fuzzware-fuzzer/hoedur.git
• bump version in qemu-build/Cargo.toml
• fix qemu-build/src/bindings.rs (is_global: false)
• cargo build -p qemu-sys --features arm

So I have done some work on this.

The offender is

typedef struct a a;
struct a {
  a *b;
};
enum { c };

_Static_assert(!(sizeof(struct {
  int : (__builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(0), typeof((a *)0)) ? 0 : 1);
}) <= c), "Static assertion failed");

This segfaults bindgen 0.69.4 in a docker container with clang 17. It segfaults bindgen on my mac with clang 15. Interestingly it doesn't segfault 0.60.1 bindgen on my mac.

I have attached the preprocessed headers in one file (gzipped) if that is helpful. __bindgen.i.gz

The creduce output was

typedef struct a a;
struct a {
  a *b
};
enum { c };
_Static_assert(!sizeof(struct {
  int : __builtin_types_compatible_p(typeof(0), typeof((a *)0)) ?: 1
}) <= c);

which I modified to get rid of some clang warnings.

Thanks for you work :)

Interestingly it doesn't segfault 0.60.1 bindgen on my mac.

That's expected, 0.60.1 is the last version without the troublesome commit.
